eminem to be inducted into Rock and Roll HOF

i know we’ve reached a point where basically any genre can enter the HOF, but i feel like there are other rappers who have more rock influence in their songs.

Outkast and Kanye are good examples, although the latter isn’t eligible

1) why did you respond to yourself instead of putting all in OP?

so i didn’t clutter the OP

2) no rapper or rap group ever in history should be in the RRHOF. Period.

I generally agree but there should be some exceptions. Outkast is heavily rock influenced and Andre 3000 wrote almost every song he ever made on guitar. And they have several songs that are straight up rock and roll. Regardless, Em shouldn’t be in there

should barenaked ladies or brantley gilbert be in the rap hall of fame because they have some songs where they perform in what's considered a "rap" style?

More proof of how little integrity the RRHOF has.

Lazy when all genres could have different hall of fames.

R&R Hall of Fame is a joke.

little feat
j geils band
Warren zevon

not in the rock and roll hall of fame
but by all means let’s get some rappers in there

It's silly

Everyone knows it but has accepted it.

He got in because of his white privilege.

Too bad the little shite pretty much identifies as black. He's from the same vein as Martin Luther Cream.

They should change their name to the music hall of fame because some of the inductees are anything but rock and roll.
